Benchmade 945BK-03 Mini Osborne

Looking for one of the most iconic designs in the knife world in a modern, wilderness-ready and rugged version? The Benchmade 945BK-03 Mini Osborne takes Warren Osborne's timeless silhouette and reinvents it with some of today's most advanced materials. With its overland-inspired handle in copper anodised aluminium and a blade in modern CPM-MagnaCut steel, this is a premium EDC (Everyday Carry) folding knife that balances strength, low weight and a distinctive look.

Burnt Copper aluminium and DLC Battlewash finish

Visually and structurally, the 945BK-03 stands out clearly and is built to be used:

• Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminium: The handle is machined from aerospace aluminium and anodised in a burnt copper colour (Burnt Copper). This gives the knife excellent stiffness and durability, while keeping the total weight to a low 56.7 g. It disappears in your pocket every day.

• Tactical DLC Battlewash finish: The 74.2 mm blade is coated with a very hard-wearing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating with a Battlewash treatment. This gives the blade a raw, distinctive, pre-worn look from the start, which effectively hides everyday signs of use and scratches.

• Discreet Mini Deep Carry: The knife has a black, reversible Mini Deep Carry pocket clip, so it sits deep and discreetly in your pocket.

CPM-MagnaCut® steel

The blade is the highlight of this updated Mini Osborne platform:

• High rust resistance and toughness (60-62 HRC): MagnaCut stands out by chemically eliminating chromium carbides from the microstructure. The result is a stainless steel with very high resistance to corrosion in damp outdoor environments, high toughness against edge damage and excellent, long-lasting edge retention.

• Reverse tanto profile: Osborne's well-known "reverse tanto" blade shape combines a sharp, precise cutting edge with an extra-thick, robust point. This makes the knife just as effective for fine precision cuts as for more demanding everyday tasks in the field.

AXIS® Lock and fully Ambidextrous

The knife has Benchmade's patented AXIS® Lock mechanism, which locks the blade mechanically and solidly in the open position. It allows fast, smooth and safe one-handed operation. As the lock can be reached from both sides and the pocket clip is easily reversed, the knife is fully Ambidextrous – ideal for both right- and left-handed users.

The knife is Made in USA to very tight tolerances, making it a premium workhorse for everyday adventures and a backup tool in your pack.
